Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

805 ILCS 206/105

(805 ILCS 206/105)

Sec. 105. Execution, filing, and recording of statements.

(a) A statement may be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. A certified copy of a
statement that is filed in an office in another State may be filed in the office of the Secretary of
State. Either filing has the effect provided in this Act with respect to partnership property
located in or transactions that occur in this State.

(b) A certified copy of a statement that has been filed in the office of the Secretary of State
and recorded in the office for recording transfers of real property has the effect provided for
recorded statements in this Act. A recorded statement that is not a certified copy of a statement
filed in the office of the Secretary of State does not have the effect provided for recorded
statements in this Act.

(c) A statement of qualification or foreign qualification filed by a partnership must be executed by at least 2
partners. Other
statements must be executed by a partner or other person authorized by this
Act. An individual
who executes a statement as, or on behalf of, a partner or other person named
as a partner in a
statement shall personally declare under penalty of perjury that the contents
of the statement are
accurate.

(d) A person authorized by this Act to file a statement may amend or cancel
the statement by
filing an amendment or cancellation that names the partnership, identifies the
statement, and
states the substance of the amendment or cancellation.

(e) A person who files a statement pursuant to this Section shall promptly
send a copy of the
statement to every nonfiling partner and to any other person named as a partner
in the statement.
 Failure to send a copy of a statement to a partner or other person does not
limit the effectiveness
of the statement as to a person not a partner.

(f) The Secretary of State may collect a fee for filing or providing a
certified copy of a
statement as provided in Section 108. The officer responsible for recording
transfers of real
property may collect a fee for recording a statement.
